Obergefell v. Hodges

7/6/2015

0 Comments

 
 The United States Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges has far-reaching implications and benefits for the gay and lesbian community.  Not only did the Court prohibit states from not allowing gay marriages or not recognizing them, but the Court did so on equal protection grounds using the Fourteenth Amendment as the source of those rights.  This now means that, when gay and lesbian men and women are discriminated against by any governmental entity, regardless of the law of the state in which the discrimination occurs, they will have a discrimination claim under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
If you would like to learn more about your rights or believe that you have been discriminated against please visit the Civil Rights Justice Center located at 2150 N. 107th Street in Seattle Washington or visit our website at civilrightsjusticecenter.com
